ON THE RESULT OF THE

Essential to a Satisfactory

Dear Sir: / had intended to make
report at much earlier date of the con.
cert held at this place IN June and
under my management for the bene'
fit of the Confederate Home at Austin,
Texas, but there has been so much de-
lay IN receiving reports from parties
having in their hands the tickets sent
to them on sale, that even now | find
not reported as 10 their disposition,
14,107 tickets IN the hands of 450 par
ties scattered throughout Texas and
the other southern states. Had
each Of these parties disposed OF
an average of only four tickets
each my repor. would have shown re
suits not only 10 the benefit OF the
home, but greatly to my individual re-
lief. AS it is, the results have been
most disastrous, not to me alone
financially, for 1t has taken every dol
lar had in the world, but l fear its
effects will be felt in the future efforts
to secure funds for the noble charity
you have in hand. This. while | an
ticipate, feel would be greatly un.
Just, for that sacred Institution should
Aot suffer by reason of my or any
other PERSONS misfortunes. Promi-
nence cannot be given 10 any one
cause for the failure OF the enterprise
here. l can only enumerate COM
bination. The drouth cut off one of
our best fields. All Western Texas,
with not only its agricultural wealth,
but its greater cattle interests-and
we all know that with such calamity
aside we have no more generous class
of citizens than our western cattlemen
and farmers. This field l did not enter
at all. / could not ask aid of those
themselves in distress, hence was re-
stricted to North, East and South
Texas.
In this part of the territory / was
met with the cry: "Once is enough" {"
Through the indefatigable and noble
efforts of the management of the Aus
tin concerts given last December in
the interest Of the Home" the State
has been quite exhaustiyely canvassed,
and oil those who were or had been
generously disposed or bad recollec-
tions of that calamitous past had al
ready given of their means all that
could be asked, while the unfriendly
and the selfish still held their own.

by him did their work nobly and
zealously, but under dlscouraging

An Artists Anglomania.

"When Jimmie Whistler comes over
here with his white forelock and staring
eye," said an Englishman in the Bruins
wick yesterday, Ethe'n start boom in
hair. 1t is pretty well established fact
that no man can arrive at the condition
of acknowledged greatness in London un-
less he has locks that drop down to his
shoulders Irving and Oscar Wilde are
perhaps the two most familiar examples
with whom Americans are familiar, ouI
neither of them holds candle to WhlSt-
Ter, whose 'silvered splash has been idol
lied in London for years. There has been
one or two efforts on the part or other
apostles of hair to take first place from
Whist1. r, but without success. And
speaking of Anglomania, Whistler's the
boy to make New Workers stare. A more
thoroughly Anglicised American it would
be impossible to imagine, and it comes SO
natural to him that not one man out of
ten in the Society of British Painters (of
whom, by the way, he is PRESIDENT sus-

What Stanley Has Done.

The Staney however who has executed
the feat of putting Africa together like a
puzzle as it never was put together before
has become man something like 4S or so
years old, I should think. 1t is said here
that when he first went out he expected
to marry rich, young and stylish woman
in New York. Before he returned, how
ever, she had taken o husband, and see
her every now and then at the seaside
places with her husband, who is an atten-
tive man, while her children have grown
up to be big and hearty and some of them
are perhaps now marriageable. IL STAN
ley had remained around the newspaper
offices of New York getting silly orders to
go'here and there. these very orders in
tended perhaps to break him up and de-
stroy his self respect and continuity, we
should now be looking at very ordinary
fragment or has been.
His feat of descending the Congo from
the sources of the Nile or Whereabouts TO
the Atlantic ocean marked his recognition
by higher range of people. He told us
at the I4otos club that it was Edwin
Arnold, the poet, author of 1.-THE Light of
Asia, who prevailed on Mr.. Levy, the
Hebrew who owns The London Telegraph,
to offer Stanley the task and the money.
Levy concluded he would undertake it if
Bennett would come in. He telegraphed
Bennett, who replied after hesitation that
he would help. So these two newspapers,
one in New York and one in London, sent
Stanley to do that work which was better
done than any work has ever been done
in Africa by any other traveller. Man
kind owes to the newspaper organization
it's knowledge to-day of the route of
the river Congo and the consequent at
tempts to make trade and to galvanize and
civilize Africa But after that feat Mr..
Stanley was probably done for as news
paper correspondent. The two news
papers naturally did not much agree.
The paper which had first sent Stanley
out probably had II kind of grudge that
somebody else had appreciated him.
There are some newspapers in this world
where you are just as unsafe by being
magnificent as by being failure

Julius Had a little Lamb.

A short time ago one of our well-known
citizens bought little lamb and placed
it in his back yard, there to fatten up for
a few weeks, when he intended killing
it and inviting a few friends to partake OF
a dinner of tender lamb and green peas.
The lamb grew and was doing we'll,
who frequently smacked his lips when
he thought what a rare dish was in store
for him and his friends. But, alas! one
morning last week the little lamb was
missing. Someone had entered the
premises during the night and carried off
the poor little creature, and the W. k. c.
no longer thinks of tender lamb and
green peas.
